Boats for Sale in Terra Ceia

Buying boats near Tampa Florida

Terra Ceia is located north of Memphis and directly across the bay from St. Petersburg Florida. Although it is technically a peninsula, many consider Terra Celia to be an island. For boat seekers, Terra Ceia offers the chance to purchase boats for the Gulf, Speed and power boats for Tampa Bay, as well as fishing boats for the many freshwater spots in the area. If you are looking to purchase boats for sale in Terra Ceia Florida, here is what you need to know.

Large boats

While many of the cities on the coast limit access to the Gulf and thereby limit the availability of finding yachts and luxury cruisers, Terra Ceia is not limited in this way. Miguel Bay, Terra Ceia Bay, as well as Tampa Bay are all located right next to Terra Ceia. There is also an abundance of docks and interstate 275 which makes transporting and harboring/marina of the larger vessels possible.

Typical large boats for sale in Terra Ceia include Spectre 35’ CC, Sea Ray 32 Sundancer, Sea Ray 340, Riviera 77 Enclosed Flybridge, and the Monterey Sportfish 58’. It can be expected that the Hydrasport 65 Estrella will be available in this area in 2018 as Tampa has hosted the boat in their recent boat shows. Currently Hydrasports 53 Suenos is the largest boat available to purchase from that manufacturer.

What you are apt to find

Even though the larger boats are available, boat buyers are more apt to find the 25’ to 30’ boats for sale in Terra Ceia. HydraSport boats, Intrepid boats, Regal boats, Chris Craft boats, Boston Whaler boats, and SeaHunter boats are among the more popular boat brands. The type of boats which are more common for Terra Ceia are the closed console boats, the express cabin boats, mini-yachts, catamarans, and Cabin Cruisers. While the selection of boats may include angler boats for the Gulf, most of the boats for sale in Terra Ceia will be oriented to Tampa Bay and to cruising, leisure, and social boating.

Dual Purpose boating

Since Terra Ceia is located close to the Gulf, you may find luxury angler boats and custom boats which have been outfitted to serve as both a fishing vessel as well as a leisure craft. For example, you may find a Dual Console boat which has equipped the bow with a casting deck, or you may find a Center Console boat which has added the leisure lounge packaging. And while these features are nice to have on a versatile boat, potential boat owners should look for features on the hull which will maximize their boating experience. Seek out pre-owned boats for sale in Terra Ceia which have a Deep Vee hull, have a low deadrise, whose beam is more than 8’, and boats which have more than one outboard motor. These features will help to minimize drifting, sway, and rolling when navigating in either Tampa Bay or the Gulf of Mexico.

St Petersburg listings for Terra Ceia

Because of the Sunshine Skwy Bridge, you may find that listed boats for sale in Terra Ceia are in St. Petersburg Florida or vice versa. The distance is only 20 miles (about 23 minutes) and so it is understandable that the larger city would market some of their boats to the smaller, unincorporated area of Terra Ceia. It also is reasonable that those in Tera Ceia who wish to get more exposure on their listing put boats for sale in St. Petersburgh rather than boats for sale in Terra Ceia.
